General Features of the Line


The Used Bottling Line KRONES for still, sparkling water and CSD 25000 bph offers a complete solution for bottling still water, sparkling water, and carbonated soft drinks in PET containers. The system achieves a nominal output of 25,000 bottles per hour. Currently, the line remains in production, and therefore, buyers can inspect it while running. It will be available starting February 2026, making it ideal for companies planning upcoming upgrades.


Supported Containers and Formats


This bottling line handles PET containers in 0.33-liter, 0.50-liter, 1-liter, and 1.5-liter formats. Moreover, it operates with standard Alaska and Corvaglia neck finishes, which are compatible with closures for both still and carbonated beverages. As a result, the Used Bottling Line KRONES for still, sparkling water and CSD 25000 bph ensures flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications. In particular, it supports rapid format changes and streamlined integration into existing operations.


Isobaric Filling and Food Safety


The core of the line features the KRONES VODM Clean Room isobaric filling monoblock, equipped with 96 filling valves. This ensures pressure remains stable during filling, which consequently preserves carbonation in sparkling products. In 2024, KRONES installed a Volumetic Checkmat inspection system, which verifies fill level and cap presence with high accuracy. Not only does this ensure food safety, but it also helps maintain packaging consistency. Furthermore, the system allows for real-time fault detection.


Bottle Blowing and Preform Preparation


The process begins with the KRONES Contiform S14 blow molder, which operates with a preform feeder and a TM KPT preform tipper. To accommodate different formats, the machine includes mold sets for 1.5 L, 1 L (KRONES and BBM), 0.5 L, and 0.33 L. In addition, a Euroklimat industrial chiller, installed in 2021, cools the molds efficiently to maintain optimal forming conditions. Thus, the line supports continuous, high-quality bottle production.


Capping and Saturation


The system uses an 18-head capper to apply Alaska and Corvaglia caps. A cap feeder and tape system supply closures efficiently. Meanwhile, the CARBOFLOW 45 saturator injects CO₂ into the product to maintain precise carbonation levels. Even during peak operation, this component ensures carbonation consistency. Consequently, the line can process carbonated beverages without sacrificing quality.


Labeling, Marking, and Packaging


The KRONES Contiroll rotary labeler applies labels across all supported formats. A DOMINO laser encoder prints production data directly onto each bottle. Subsequently, a COMAG handle applicator, a KRONES Variopac Pro shrink wrapper, a KRONES Modulpal palletizer, and an ATLANTA Omega pallet wrapper complete the packaging cycle.
